So evangelical Christians hate Harry Potter for the simple reason that it is about magic and witchcraft (though I fail to understand what it has to do with Jesus Christ or Bible -- for God's sake it is just fiction).

Now these same crazies elected people like George and Laura Bush in the hope that they will ban gay marriage, outlaw abortion, and of course, ban Harry Potter books (now their hopes are resting on Sarah Palin who already has some experience banning perfectly normal books).

So what is First Lady Laura Bush doing reading a Harry Potter book? I guess she secretly also supports abortion and gay marriage but since the evangelicals are so stupid and easy to fool, it is fine to take advantage of them.
